By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
There were plenty of silver linings this week. Silver moved close to the 1980 and the key barrier of $50 and gold is moving to new highs at the moment of writing these words. Before jumping right into gold and silver charts, let’s take a few moments to examine the situation in the Euro Index, as it has been recently highly correlated with gold. We will start with the long-term chart (charts courtesy by http://stockcharts.com.)

Gold and Silver vs the U.S Dollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Casey_Research

On the eve of a sold-out Casey Research Summit in Boca Raton, Florida, Doug returns to The Gold Report. In this exclusive interview, he warns, "Like it or not, you're going to be forced to be a speculator."

As discussed in a recent editorial this point in the cycle suggests that Gold will soon enter into a more aggressive higher rise in price as it starts to project the higher Vth Wave characteristics of this new Golden Parabola.

By: Zeal_LLC
Junior gold explorers represent a vital component of the global gold supply chain. These small companies take on the arduous task of discovering and developing many of the next-generation gold deposits. Without them, the gold markets would be in complete disarray and the large miners would be scrambling to backfill their project pipelines.

By: GoldCore
Gold rose to new record nominal highs at $1,540.85/oz in early Asian trading last night.

Sharing his views in this Energy Report exclusive on the eve of a sold-out Casey Research Summit in Boca Raton, Florida, Doug says power generated from wind, sun, the tides and other alternative sources are "very nice special applications but don't work economically unless they're subsidized."

Silver Rally Can’t Stop to Breathe / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Investors don’t know what to do with commodities. Traders are asking, “is it too late?” and “have we gone too high?” The question, of course, isn’t easy to answer, but the simple reality is that there won’t be too high of prices until the dollar becomes too low.
In light of recent events around the world, the Fed has remained incredibly lax in its policy to push interest rates and the dollar to zero. Most every central bank has tightened, is expected to tighten, or must tighten (think China) to keep their currencies from plunging to zero.

Silver Parabolic Blowoff, Gold Price Steady / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: PhilStockWorld
The virtues of gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) are being addressed far and wide. My readers know the steady drumbeat of praise that is reaching a crescendo for the white metal scares the hell out of me. The driving forces behind silver’s price come from investors, industrial demands and a global shortage. The world simply is using more silver than the mines produce and new silver discoveries are becoming difficult to find. These factors are becoming truisms for public consumption. A parabolic rise has formed in silver as gold advances on to our measured target of $1600.
